Team News

Arouca
Rio Ave
  • Popovic misses out through suspension. Rocha and Lamba should be paired at centre-back as a result.
  • Other than that, Vasco Seabra should name the same starting XI that defeated Nacional last weekend.
  • Panzo was sent off against FC Porto and serves a ban. Andreas and Petrasso should start at the heart of the defence as a result.
  • Clayton scored for third game running and should be full of confidence here.

Prediction

  • Arouca come into this match on the back of back-to-back victories. Last weekend they travelled to Madeira to beat Nacional 2-1. Vasco Seabra's men haven't lost in five games and already have a comfortable lead over the dropzone.
  • Rio Ave held FC Porto to a 2-2 draw last time out and picked up a valuable point against a title contender. Petit's men have only lost one game in their last six matches and should be confident going into Monday's game.
  • Both teams are similar in quality and are enjoying a good run form. Expect them to cancel each other out.
